Power sources are one of the most critical components for flexible and printed electronics, as these systems often require power to operate. However, coin cell batteries simply aren’t flexible and often are not disposable, thus limiting the product.

Printed flexible batteries can be made in many shapes and sizes. The trick is to provide enough power. With its ZincPoly™ technology and the ability to print its ultrathin flexible batteries on standard commercial printers, including SMT lines, and with plans for very high-volume roll-to-roll presses, Imprint Energy believes it has solved that challenge.

“If you foresee a world with large numbers of inexpensive IoT devices, sensors, tags and wearables that need to communicate, you need a power source that is well-matched to those emerging high-volume applications,” said Steve Weiss, an advisor to Imprint Energy. &
